Do you often travel by air?
No, not much. Travelling by air too often is out of my reach for a student like me. However, I do travel by air once or twice a year to an ASEAN member because the airfares to these destinations are quite affordable.
How long was the longest trip you took?
I went on a 9-day trip to Thailand and this was my longest trip ever. I spent 3 days in Bangkok, 2 days in Pattaya and 3 days in Phuket. The remaining one day was allocated for moving.
Which country would you like to travel to in the future?
Italy is my dream destinations it is home to the most stunning churches in the world. Also, I love the Italian culture, language and friendly people whom I’ve met in Vietnam.
Would you like to travel to space?
Yes, it sounds a bit weird and scary though. I am curious about how other planets look and how I would be when there is no gravity. This idea really scares me off but as it sounds pretty intriguing, I would like to try travelling to space once.

SAMPLE ANSWER
I would like to describe a short but rather exciting tour that I went on last Saturday, which was a bicycle trip around Hoan Kiem Lake, which is also known as Sword Lake, and is one of the major scenic spots in Hanoi, the capital city of Vietnam.
I went on this trip with three close friends of mine, and we agreed on riding our bicycles to the Ly Thai To statue at 5am, which was to be our point of departure. I’m actually quite the early riser so I found it pretty easy to get up that early and be there on time.

And luckily the weather that day was really nice. The air was fresh and the tranquillity of the morning made me feel relaxed but also energetic. We biked around the lake about five times until around 7am when the sun began to rise and the streets started to get crowded. After that, we gathered at our favourite cafe to sip on some coffee chat about our lives.
I really enjoyed that short bike trip due to several reasons. Firstly, it was a great chance for me to see our city from a very different perspective, a peaceful Hanoi without traffic jams and air pollution. I was able to escape from the hustle and bustle of the city for a few hours and recharge myself to get prepared for a new week.
I think that cycling is also a really great exercise that helps me to strengthen my health, build up stamina and improve my immune system. And last but not least, I think this trip was a really great opportunity for me and my friends to get together and chat about our daily lives. You know, we are often too busy to meet regularly, so times like these are really valuable.

PART – 3 FOLLOW UPS
Do people prefer short trips or long trips?
These days I prefer to take longer trips than shorter trips. With the longer trips I like to take 9 to 10 days because the places I go are usually outside of China for the past 2 years. In this way after you get on and off the plane to a place like Thailand or also in my case Australia to check out the schools there and to tour around you lose 2 days just in traveling. After the jet lag I want to relax and take my time in the city where I’m staying so relaxation is the key thing when I go on a trip and that’s why I like longer trips these days.

What kinds of problems would people have when they go on a long trip?
Probably forgetting something is one of your biggest problems when you’re taking a long trip. My parents had a trip out to the United States last year to visit my sister in university and my father forgot to bring his medicine for his diabetes and so he had to visit a hospital there to get a blood test done and get his prescription filled. Likewise, my mother forgot her wallet that has all of her credit cards on that trip so my father had to go shopping with her to all of the stores so that they could use his credit card.
